• Carry a written list of all medications taken, including trade and generic names, to facilitate obtaining medications.
• If unable to determine whether the same drug is available (or whether an equivalent version of a medication exists internationally), work with a health care provider (in the home country or locally at the destination) or with a local pharmacist to select an effective alternative medication.
• In general, mailing or couriering any kind of medication from one country to another is illegal.
